Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

person who schemed all this was still in Mo Country, maybe he would appear.
When that time comes, let her accompany and play with him!

When Mo Linyuan left, he had indeed thought of the other party creating a diversion, so Zi Xu and the others all stayed, just in case.

Mo Country’s territory was very apparent.
His east side was the sea, and the rest of the territory bordered Zhao Country and Yue Country.
Now, Zhao Country dispatched troops to suppress the borders, so if the other party had another plan, they could only pass through Yue Country.

So Mo Linyuan also secretly guarded against Yue Country.
Although Yue Country’s letter before said, Wei Country wanted to borrow their route but was refused by them, there were no true friends; there was only sheer benefit.
Yue Country’s monarch Qi Yan could refuse for Ye Mu once, but could he refuse every time?

Under this atmosphere, everyone in Mo Country felt in danger.

Ye Mu behaved herself in the palace.
She didn’t go out, and didn’t give other people any chance.
The prime minister concentrated on taking care of everything outside, he didn’t trouble her in the least bit.

But a month after Mo Linyuan left, a very terrifying event occurred.

And that was: Wei Country marched through Yue Country, coming to attack from another direction.

Ye Mu thought back to her childhood times.
Qi Yan had helped her like that, she didn’t expect this time to really come.
Yue Country yielded to power.

After all, the situation right now was very obvious.
The other five countries might have joined forces.
If Yue Country persisted in not participating, then when the time comes, when Mo Country was destroyed, it would be hard for them to escape death.
In the end, Yue Country didn’t believe Mo Country could win fighting one against five, so finally they relented.

This time, the courtroom raged into cries.
What to do, His Majesty was in Zhao Country’s border, and the two armies had gotten into a fight! And Wei Country over here also wanted to come.
What should they do?

Although Prime Minister Wen was wise, at this moment he was also rather troubled.
On this day in the morning court, Ye Mu suddenly walked onto the courtroom.

As soon as she came out, everyone became quiet.
All of them knew the emperor dearly loved the empress.
For the sake of the empress, any rules and regulations could be disregarded.
Hence, they somewhat feared this young empress.

And Ye Mu directly sat on the Dragon Throne*!

*the imperial throne

This time, some people quit.
“Empress, please allow me to ask, what do you mean by this?”

Ye Mu wore a phoneix robe that only empresses had, sitting there with heavy makeup for the first time.
Hearing the question, her eyebrows faintly rose.

“There is no royal heir in this palace.
Besides His Majesty, there’s only me—two masters in the palace.
Now that His Majesty is not here, it is difficult to shirk from my responsibility.
I’m forced to show up merely for the sake of sharing the burdens of His Majesty.
Do you have any objection?”

How—how could this be allowed?

Someone hurriedly said, “Empress, there are teachings from the ancestors, the imperial harem cannot interfere!”

Ye Mu swept a glance over with cold eyes, making that person freeze.

“What period is it today? You’re still concerned about the ancestors’ teachings.
I don’t know any ancestors’ teachings, I only know men work outside; women inside.
Now that His Majesty is warding off the enemy, I, in any case, have to help him defend this home! I believe the prime minister will support me, right?”

Prime Minister Wen originally was rather hesitant.
After all, Ye Mu was sitting on the Dragon Throne right now, but just like Ye Mu had said, what period was it right now? Once Wei Country came to attack, the country would not be a country.
What ancestors’ teachings must they abide by?

The most important thing was, His Majesty treated Ye Mu in such a favorable light.
There must be other significant reasons for it.
Maybe she really could think of a way?

So the Prime Minister finally lowered his head.
“Time of emergency requires special conducts.
I am willing to hear Empress’ order.”

Since the Prime Minister said as such, the others did not object anymore, so not long after, the voices in the courtroom gradually quietened.
